Policy for Return Authorizations
- If you have a Factory Return Authorization (RA), please follow the steps below:
- Email or fax a copy of the RA when it is ready for pickup. Email us at customerservice@shipadi.com or Fax 765-553-5978.
- Have all items re-packaged ready for return to factory. Improperly packaged items will not be picked up, such as items only shrink-wrap or no cardboard used on casegood items. If you do not have packaging wait until you receive a similar piece and use that packaging to wrap the RA.
- Attach a copy of the RA to each carton.
Note: Once we receive the RA we will have our delivery route driver make the pickup. This process may take up to 7-10 days. Please call us if the turn around time is longer.
- If you do not have a RA, you will need to contact the manufacturer for a copy.
